Power outages in Northern Colorado are more than just inconveniences - they're disruptions that can affect your family's safety, comfort, and daily life. At Chadwick Home Services, we've been protecting Windsor, Fort Collins, Loveland, and Greeley homes from power outages since 1971. As your local Generac authorized dealer and installer, we provide complete standby generator solutions that keep your lights on when the grid goes dark.
Living along the Front Range means dealing with unique weather challenges that frequently test our power grid. From winter blizzards to summer thunderstorms, power outages are a reality we all face. But they don't have to leave you in the dark.
In recent years, we've seen an increase in both the frequency and duration of power outages across Northern Colorado. Several factors contribute to this:
When the power goes out, the impacts go far beyond sitting in the dark:
A whole home standby generator is like an insurance policy that actually prevents problems rather than just paying for them afterward. Here's the simple breakdown:
The entire process happens automatically - you don't need to be home, go outside in a storm, or flip any switches. Many of our customers tell us they didn't even know the power was out until neighbors mentioned it!

Understanding the total investment helps you make informed decisions about protecting your home and family with backup power.
Every installation is tailored to your home. We provide clear, itemized proposals so you see exactly what you’re paying for and why.
Most projects include the generator unit, professional installation, required permits, gas line work, electrical upgrades as needed, and a concrete pad or mounting solution. The final investment varies by home and scope.
Costs are driven by generator size, installation complexity, distance to utilities, permit requirements, and any optional features or upgrades you choose. During your consultation, we’ll review these factors and align the design with your goals and budget.
A standby generator can protect against spoiled food, frozen pipes, and unexpected hotel or business-interruption costs. It also adds comfort and confidence during storms and outages.
Many homeowners also see long-term value through improved market appeal, potential insurance benefits, and uninterrupted work-from-home or medical equipment operation.
As an authorized Generac dealer, our factory-trained team handles design, installation, and support from start to finish. We stock common parts, stand behind our work, and respond quickly when you need help.
54 years serving Northern Colorado with family-owned values and professional expertise.
With proper maintenance, Generac generators typically last 20-30 years. We have customers with units still running strong after 25 years of service.
Modern Generac units are surprisingly quiet - about 65-69 decibels at 23 feet, similar to normal conversation. Quiet-Test mode reduces this further for weekly exercises.
We work with many HOAs throughout Northern Colorado and understand their requirements. Most approve generators with proper placement and screening.
Professional installation is required for warranty coverage and code compliance. Gas connections, electrical work, and transfer switches require licensed professionals.
Don't wait for the next power outage to wish you had backup power. With increasing grid demands and severe weather events, a whole home generator is becoming essential for Northern Colorado homeowners.
